Yeah, well my profit margin is diminishing expediently by the minute. My kid has his eye on it so I'll probably sell it for what I got into it, not including my time spent getting it and certainly not the time I baby sat it.

Dave, I've put waaaaaay too much money and time into his operation as it is. The bankers love throwing money at him because he's a farmer so he's on his own with that.

 

Did he have it in 4WD when he turned? Understeer would be normal in that situation due to lack of differentiation in the JD 4WD systems. That is why JD has weights for the front.

Sorry Bob . . . Just a thought

 

I am assuming he was driving it in two wheel drive, he was on dry pavement. Just too much weight for the size of tractor. There are suggested tractor sizes for all implements, he knew he was undersized but at the time it was the largest tractor he had available to him.

 

Can you put 4 tires on the back?

 

This is Bob and Chris's new Old Ford Truck recovery vehicle.
Coming to my driveway as soon as I get my finances in order.

 

Well at least you picked the right color this time! I'll be honest, when I look at that price tag, it makes me feel better about how much I have paid for my entire farm! Can I at least open the door and look inside when you bring it to Truckstock?

 

Thats a great looking truck, on the plus side you can take Bob on the road and still have room for all of your dogs!

 

Doc ! I ll do better then that I ll let you drive it. That is if I can get my lovely wife to drive it down there on Friday. I m going to try to drive my 56 down on Thursday with Bob.... But with our track record ( Bob and my self) I think we may head out two truck stock a week earlyjust in case ......_________fill in the blank happens !

 

What engine does it have?

 

6.7 diesel

 

He could if he had them but then he'd get himself stuck even worse.

I was informed this morning that he was stuck in back, again, this time 50 feet to the west in the same damn field, this time with a stronger tractor with bald bad tires. I told him this was the last time I'll help. I told him to haul the crap, literally, in our neighbor's field, which is high land but he doesn't want to give his manure away.

A 6.7, not a 6.0?!!!!!

 

Hmmm . . . so he doesn't want to give his neighbor any sh_t? Just being considerate?

(Sorry again Bob . . . I just couldn't resist)

 

Right after I traded my 6.0 for a 6.4, I drove the "new" truck onto a used car lot one day because my wife told me to stop and look at something. The salesman almost didn't even want to speak to me. I finally said "Don't worry, I'm not looking to trade it, plus it's a 6.4". He let out the biggest sigh of relief I've ever seen and said "Oh man, I was so afraid that was a 6.0." I've gotten to the point that I look immediately at the side mirrors on a late model SD diesel when I pass one on the road. If the mirrors have rounded corners, I immediately feel sorry for the owner. I got into a huge pissing match with a guy on the Super Duty forum a couple years ago about this. The guy was totally unreasonable and bound and determined to sing the praises of the almighty 6.0.

Man I could use that manure on my hay fields right now. I usually spend over a grand on fertilizer every few years, and your boy is literally looking for places to dump it. Yeah, I agree with you, tell him to dump it on the neighbor's property. **** ain't worth getting stuck like that.

 

LOL, I've exchanged a few post with that guy in the Tennessee Chapter section, to say that he is NEVER wrong about ANYTHING would be an appropriate assessment. He is truly a Legend in his own mind!
